Troy Brailey, Charlotte,NcMember Since April 2010Artist Statement Hello my name is Troy Brailey and I am a Charlottean, which is rare since most residents of Charlotte were not born there. Growing up as a child I always had an interest in art. However it wasn’t until I meet my first art teacher, Ms Radcliffe that my skills as an artist began to soar. Under her tutelage, I learned the power of art and the exploration of many mediums. I have been an artist for many years and I enjoy sharing my love of art with others. At one point in my career, I worked at a learning center as an Assistant Director where I supervised and conducted art workshops with children. After leavening the learning I started freelancing and sealing my artwork and entering art contest and some gallery over the years. An as my work as an artist has progressed it has taken on a life of its own .as my work goes many different from realism to therapy art.
